EBSCO Databases (off campus)

  1. Contact the library to get the username and password you need to access these databases ( 631-423-0483 x141 or via email at libraryweb@icseminary.edu ).
  2. Click on the Online Resources link on the side menu of the library page.
  3. Find and click on: “EBSCO databases” in the pull-down menu.
  4. You will now be going in through a proxy server, courtesy of St. Joseph’s Seminary. The page is very “bare-bones.” Find the Login fields, in the top left corner of the page.
 
This is an approximation of what you will see when being asked to log in through St. Joseph’s proxy server:

OXFORD Databases (off campus)

Follow the same first few steps, explained above (go through proxy server).
 
There are FOUR separate Oxford Resources:
Oxford Biblical Studies
Oxford Bibliographies (Religion subset)
Oxford Handbooks (Religion subset)
Oxford Scholarship (Religion subset)
For the last three Oxford resources listed here, you may see lots of subjects listed, but it is only RELIGION resources that we can access. You may have to specify that in your search parameters. Or, just be prepared for the fact that many of the items you see are not part of our subscription. Also, if you have a choice between All partners” and just “Oxford,” check off “Oxford” in order to get full text.

JStor (off campus)

Follow the same first few steps, explained above (go through proxy server).
JSTOR is a journal storage site for back issues of academic journals. You can search in various ways and find the full text of hundreds of articles. If you want to browse by subject, you need to know that “Religion” material is found under the general heading of “Humanities."
